Southern Devil Scorpion (Vaejovis carolinianus)

Scorpion hiding in an old, broken television that was tossed on the side of a dirt road (my husband and I were cleaning up the mess) in a dense mixed hardwood/coniferous forest in NW Georgia (Gordon County), US. April 28, 2018.

I'm glad I could help! Most people I know cringe at the thought of approaching scorpions, snakes, and other "creepy-crawlies," but I think it is very important to document and learn what we can from ALL of Earth's beautiful creatures!

As for cleaning up messes, it is something my husband and I do a lot of. I carry a bag with me at all times. Even some of the most remote places are littered! It is maddening!

What litter do you find most frequently? We find mostly plastic bags, plastic water bottles, junk mail, and balloons...I always carry a bag to pick it up too - every little bit helps ;)Posted 2 months ago
